Friedman busts out an oldie.
Clearly running out of new ideas and ways to be optimistic about Iraq, Friedman trots out the question asked by conservatives when the anti-war rallies were in full swing - 'Why aren't you demonstrating against Saddam?'
Short answer: because Saddam ain't there any more, ya lunkhead. Isn't that what Bush keeps telling us? And as for not mentioning Osama bin Laden - you'd best point that finger at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And as a sub-theme, he tells us that the invasion of Iraq is a 'liberal idea,' and for that reason we should support an administration who pretty much told us to fuck off and die in the early months of this year.
Hey, Tommy! I got your 'make lemonade out of lemons' right here.

Shorter Friedman: I will fight to the last drop of someone else's blood.

A better question is "If Saddam was evil on Earth why was Donny Strangefeld shaking his claw and selling him stuff?"
I think Amnesty International may have mentioned something about Saddam long before his Kuwait adventure.

Why don't Americans protest against Sadaam or Osama? Because they're not in charge of our disastrous foreign policy, Tom. We have our own lunatics to worry about here.
